remove (luarocks-admin)

remove - Add a rock or rockspec to a rocks server.

Usage

luarocks-admin remove [--from=server] [--no-refresh] {rockspec|rock}

Arguments are local files, which may be rockspecs or rocks.

The flag --from indicates which server to use. If not given, the default server set in the upload_server variable from the configuration file is used instead.

The flag --no-refresh indicates the local cache should not be refreshed prior to generation of the updated manifest.

You need to have rsync installed in order to use this command.

Example

Basic example

Remove a rockspec from your default configured upload server:

luarocks-admin remove lpeg-0.9-1.rockspec

Handling multiple repositories

Assuming your ~/.luarocks/config.lua file looks like this:

upload_server = "main"
upload_servers = {
   main = {
      rsync = "www.example.com/repos/main",
   },
   dev = {
      rsync = "www.example.com/repos/devel-rocks",
   },
}

you can specify which repository to use with the --from flag:

luarocks-admin remove --from=dev my_rock-scm-1.rockspec
